JAELYNN POV

I couldn't do it anymore. It's obvious we aren't in love with each other anymore. Or at least he isn't. I couldn't even feel anger anymore. All I wanted to do was cry. But I wouldn't give him that satisfaction. He played me this whole entire time.

Grabbing my clothes and packing them in my suitcase. Zahrie just watched me pack up our stuff. I know she was confused. She just kept watching me at everything I did.

I stopped mid way "don't worry we are going on a little vacation. Only us no daddy". She just stared at me. Shrugging I went to packing our things. He used the excuse of me having a miscarriage on why he cheated. While I was dealing with it my own way he was out just fucking anything in sight.

The old Elijah came back. I was trying to hurry up and pack before he got back. I didn't want zahrie to witness anything. Jillian came into the room "so you're really leaving?". I nodded "he cheated on me when I was at my lowest. I dealt with it when he did it with Alexis. But he went too far".

"How do you know that he slept with this chick?" She asked. I took out my phone and showed her the updated picture that was sent to me. She covered her mouth "wow! So the girl was right. He did meet her at the gym as well".

Trying my hardest not to cry. Biting my lip because I felt that lump in my throat. Jillian must've noticed and hugged me "Aww poor baby. I'm sorry Jaelynn. He's a scumbag for doing this".

"Mommy don't cry" Zahrie said. I quickly wiped my tears and turned to her "mommy isn't crying. I'm fine".

Hearing the door close downstairs I cursed at myself "dammit I was trying to hurry up before he got back". His foot steps was coming closer to where we were. Once he walked in he just looked around "where are you going?".

"Vacation!" Zahrie said.

He turned to Jillian "do me a favor and take Zahrie so I can speak to Jaelynn alone". Jillian grabbed Zahrie a hand and walked her out the room. He closed the door locking it.

"So... this is what we're doing?" He asked. I didn't answer I kept packing. "Jaelynn? Talk to me!".

"You lies to me! Over and over you keep lying to me!" I yelled. "When I asked you in the car when she came to chipotle you said you didn't know her. She mentioned you met her at the gym. And now I have proof. That's why I'm leaving". I continued to pack my things.

He grabbed my arm "Listen... it was only a one time thing. She was there for me when I know you couldn't be because you was going through it".

"Don't you dare use that as an excuse. You could've come talk to me. Maybe if we talked to each other we could've helped each other!. But instead you found comfort in someone else". I took out my phone and showed him the picture. "Must be nice".

( we just going to pretend it's the same girl from the other photo. Imagination people!)

He stood there with nothing said. I felt my emotions hitting me in every direction. "And you claim to love me. But you couldn't come talk to me. Some love that is" I whispered because I was about to cry.

I went into the closet and just sobbed. After all I've been through I thought he was one person who would be there for me. And he does something like this.

"I don't know what to say... to make this better. I can apologize but to what extent?. I shouldn't have lied but I didn't want to see this happening. I'm losing my family!".

"You're choice. You didn't think of that when you was in-between her legs". I zipped up the suitcases and put them by the door. "You can come and see zahrie whenever you want. I won't be that bitter and keep her from you".

He walked up to me "please don't leave me, Jaelynn. We been through so much".

"I'm hurt, Elijah! You hurt me so bad. Especially when I was grieving and depressed you didn't give a damn about that. We both lost a baby. But I guess I was the only one crying over it".

"You think it didn't hurt me too?!. I was hurting too Jaelynn! But I had to be strong for you. I didn't want you to see me crumble when you needed me most. I seen the days when you were crying and didn't want to leave the bed. It hurt me to see you like that".

Tears was falling like water. "It didn't hurt you that bad. Because if it did you wouldn't have done what you did".

He looked down and put his hands in his pockets. I saw a tear slip away from his cheek. He wiped it quickly on his shoulder. "Don't leave!. We are a family. Families don't give up on one another like that".

"It does when crush the other ones heart. I love you Elijah but I can't love you so much to sit here and let you keep doing this to me. I have a daughter that I have to protect. I don't want her growing up thinking it's okay to settle for a man who cheats. Just because she saw her mother do it".

"Zahrie is my princess. She knows I'm the best daddy, ever".

Grabbing my suitcase I looked at him one last one before I walked out the door. Jillian helped me with the suitcases and I picked up Zahrie. Elijah followed me "let me say bye to Zahrie". I strapped her inside her car seat "go ahead". He walked up to her and she smiled "daddy!". He chocked back tears "my princess. Be good for mommy okay. I'll see you tomorrow!" She looked confused on what was happening. He closed the door and watched me close the trunk.

"Jaelynn?" He said. I looked at him "I still love you. You have my heart and always will. I made a stupid mistake I can't take back. But that didn't stop my love for you and our children". Looking away I got in my car and sped off. I hated this feeling. Checking Zahrie out in the rear view mirror she was looking down. My heart ached for her.

OMG THIS CHAPTER WAS EMOTIONAL FOR ME TO WRITE. I WAS LOWKEY TRYING NOT TO CRY.
